Definitions

  • This invention relates to materials for acoustic absorption. More particularly it relates to thermoformable acoustic sheets.
  • Sound absorption is required in a wide variety of industrial and domestic applications.
  • the acoustic material conforms to the shape of a surface for example or otherwise retains a particular shape.
  • the acoustic sheet can be heat moulded to the required shape to provide relative ease and speed of production.
  • Sound absorption can be a function of depth of air space, air flow resistance, mass, stiffness and the acoustic impedance of any porous media behind the acoustic sheet. Therefore, adding a third dimension for example by moulding to a required shape increases stiffness and can add practical and aesthetic value.
  • a three dimensionally shaped material provides its own air space. The shape therefore has a major influence on sound absorption and stiffness.
  • thermoformable acoustic sheets are in the automotive industry, in particular, in under bonnet insulators for motor vehicles.
  • Existing under bonnet insulators use moulded fibreglass insulators for sound absorption.
  • resinated fibreglass, or felt is sandwiched between two layers of non-woven tissue and subsequently heat molded to form a so called "biscuit" with sealed edges.
  • the difficulties associated with this product include the fact that the moulding process is relatively slow taking up to 234 minutes per moulded part.
  • the use of resinated fibreglass is undesirable because of its inherent undesirable handling problems while the resins can release toxic gases during the moulding process.
  • Other examples of applications for thermoformable sheets in the automotive industry include wheel arch linings, head linings and boot linings.
  • thermoformable material from thermoplastic textile for underbonnet insulator Attempts to produce a suitable thermoformable material from thermoplastic textile for underbonnet insulator have been unsuccessful due to one or more of the failure of the materials to meet requirements of low sag modulus typically encountered at operating temperatures, unsuitable moulding performance, and lack of uniformity of air flow resistance required for acoustic absorption performance.
  • thermoformable acoustic sheet and a method of producing such a sheet that will at least provide a useful alternative.
  • this invention provides a thermoformable acoustic sheet formed by a compressed fibrous web including high melt and adhesive thermoplastic fibres. During forming the adhesive fibres are at least partially melted so that in the compressed web the adhesive fibres at least partially coat the high melt fibres and reduce the interstitial space in the fibre matrix.
  • thermoplastic fibres are treated with an adhesive coating to increase the airflow resistance.
  • thermoplastic fibres are treated with a coating formed by one or more further webs of thermoplastic fibres to increase the air flow resistance.
  • the further web contains a substantial amount of adhesive fibre.
  • this invention provides a method of producing a thermoformable acoustic sheet including the steps of heating a fibre web including high melt and adhesive thermoplastic fibres to at least partially melt the adhesive fibres and compressing the web to form a sheet. In the compressed sheet the adhesive fibres at least partially coating the high melt fibre to reduce the interstitial space in the fibre matrix.
  • the sheet is treated with an adhesive coating to increase the air flow resistance.
  • thermoplastic fibres are treated with a coating formed by one or more further webs of thermoplastic fibres to increase the air flow resistance.
  • the compression of the fibrous material under heat and pressure results in the at least partial melting of the adhesive fibre which acts as a heat activatable binder to at least partially coat and join to the high melting fibre thus reducing interstitial space in the fibre matrix and creating a labyrinthine structure that forms a tortuous path for air flow through the fibre matrix.
  • the high melting fibre remains substantially intact, although some softening is acceptable and can act as a reinforcement in the acoustic sheet.
  • the acoustic sheet has a total air flow resistance of between 275 and 1100 mks Rayl, more preferably 600-1100 mks Rayl and even more preferably 900-1000 mks Rayl.
  • air flow resistance values of the acoustic sheet result in effective absorption of sound for applications such as hood or under bonnet insulation.
  • the acoustic sheet produced in accordance with the present invention exhibit the acoustic behaviour of a porous limp sheet. Porous limp sheets display superior sound absorption at low frequencies.
  • the thermoformable acoustic sheet has a low sag modulus at temperatures up to about 150°C.
  • the fibrous material can be a combination of fibres of various denier.
  • the high melt fibres are 12 denier or below, 6 denier or below and/or 4 denier or below.
  • the adhesive fibres are 8 denier or below, 6 denier or below, 4 denier or below and/or at about 2 denier.
  • the fibrous material can be selected from, but not limited to, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene butylphthalate (PBT), polyethylene 1 ,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (PCT), polylactic acid (PLA) and/or polypropylene (PP).
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PBT polyethylene butylphthalate
  • PCT polyethylene 1 ,4-cyclohexanedimethanol
  • PDA polylactic acid
  • PP polypropylene
  • Fibre with special characteristics such as high strength or very high melting point can also be used. Examples include KevlarTM, NomexTM and BasofilTM. Alternatively, the high melting point fibres may be substituted by natural fibre such as wool, hemp, kanet etc.
  • the web of fibrous material used to produce the acoustic sheet of this invention can be produced from a non-woven vertically aligned high loft thermally bonded material formed by the STRUTOTM process under Patent WO 99/61693.

Abstract

Cette feuille insonorisante thermoformable est constituée d'une voile fibreux comprimé renfermant des fibres thermoplastiques adhésives et des fibres thermoplastiques à point de fusion élevé. Les fibres adhésives sont au moins partiellement fondues, de sorte que, dans le voile comprimé, elles font office de revêtement pour les fibres à point de fusion élevé et réduisent l'espace interstitiel existant dans la matrice fibreuse. L'invention a également trait à un production de feuille insonorisante thermoformable, consistant à chauffer un voile fibreux renfermant des fibres thermoplastiques adhésives et des fibres thermoplastiques à point de fusion élevé, de manière à faire fondre au moins partiellement les fibres adhésives, et à comprimer le voile afin de former une feuille, les fibres adhésives revêtant au moins partiellement les fibres à point de fusion élevé et réduisant l'espace interstitiel existant dans la matrice fibreuse.
